FAITH MEETS POWER
On the terrace of prime minister
Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad’s
offices in Putrajaya, Malaysia’s
brand new government city at
the heart of the Multimedia
Super Corridor, a metro security
watchman keeps an eye on us
visiting journalists from Germany.
Behind him, Putra mosque shows
off the splendour of the official
state religion. Malaysia, though,
guarantees freedom of worship.
